Lays the foundation of my hope, In oaths, and promises, and blood.

ISAAC WATTS 1674

84 C.M. P. Doddridge Support in the Covenant. 2 Sam. 23. 5; Ps. 25. 14

’Tis mine, the covenant of his grace, And every promise mine; All flowing from eternal love, And sealed by blood divine.

2 On my unworthy, favoured head, Its blessings all unite; Blessings more numerous than the stars, More lasting and more bright.

3 That covenant the last accent claims Of this poor faltering tongue; And that shall the first notes employ Of my celestial song.

PHILIP DODDRIDGE 1702

85 C.M. Isaac Watts God keeping Covenant. Ps. 89. 19-34

Our God, how firm his promise stands, E’en when he hides his face!
